Welcome to the second week of class. If you're still here on Wednesday and Thursday you've decided you agree with the syllabus and are ready to take on "Political Science 101" - Excellent!
This week we get into the purpose and structure of the American Constitution, review a little history from the early years of the country, and try to make sense of what politics are.
As for what you'll be doing this week (homework, etc.): read the first chapter of the Wilson book, start working on terms and concepts to know from the first unit, take your first quiz, and start paying attention to current events. You'll also be introduced to our year-long project this week.
The first ever APUSGOV Podcast will debut this week. Look for that Friday.
If you have questions, concerns, and/or comments, use the comment link below. See you in class.

Hey Mr. Gwaltney,
It says we're going to have a "reading quiz" on Monday 9/10. Is that only for Chapter 1, or is it also for those three specific areas under Chapter 2: "The Problem of Liberty", "The Constitutional Convention", "The Challenge" ?
Rasnik and everyone - the reading quiz will be primarily on Chapter 1, though the reading that is due also includes those three sections from th beginning of chapter 2. Do it!
~Mr. G.
thanks!!
